Seen a mobilephone on from The Link web exclusive but unable to find any details of the way in which the cashback works on the website.

How does the cashback work.?

Are they reliable for cashback.?

    I would imagine they are reliable as they are a major retailer but I have never used them for cashback myself.

    If you go into the page which offers the deal, there should be a big box that says "See how our deals work" and within that there should be a smaller box that mentions the line rental. If you click on that box, you should get a popup window appearing that will contain links to pdfs for the various cashback deals, and these will give all the details of how you claim the cashback, what months to send away the forms and how much you will get on certain months.

    Hope this helps

    You can download the info, by cliking on their header, which states 12 months 1/2 price line rental (or whatever the deal is).

    & you get a reasonably small print free, explanation.

    I've been looking their, thinking of changing from PAYG to contract, 'cos the offers are pretty good & also expect The link to still be around, come claim time!!

    But talking to their SHOP staff, apparently, if you buy on line, the store won't handle problems -you need to ring a 50p/minute number.

    & it seems the stores have a bit of discretion to offer similar to 'web only' deals.

    Which fone were you thinking of??

    Its a nokia 6103 clam style phone (which I will give to my son instead of buying a Sagem myC4-2 he was after) I will install my wifes tesco payg simcard in this phone.

    The sim card from this 12 months contract I will install in my wifes old phone £9.99 for the year on the O2 network 200 X network minutes 100 texts per months so it would be a good deal for me because I have to pay for it all if the cashback works out ok.

    Thanks, just looked at this deal. Does anyone know of a better one on this phone, or how I can maximise this?

    Thanks

    Sorry about this but I thought the offer read the contract was £9.99 for 12 months line rental but now I have read the cashback details its actually £9.99 per month for 12 months which is £119.88 per year.
